Sumidero Canyon & Chiapa de Corzo Tour

Escape from Tuxtla Gutierrez for a day to discover the spectacular natural landmark of the Sumidero Canyon and explore the colonial town of Chiapa de Corzo.

Tour Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel and set off to the Sumidero Canyon. After a short drive, we'll board a boat for a two-hour tour of this natural wonder.

During the boat tour of Sumidero Canyon, we will sail between the sheer rock walls of the canyon, which rise approximately 1,000 meters (3280 feet) high. We will admire the lush vegetation and spot local wildlife, including crocodiles, spider monkeys, and pelicans.

Upon completing the boat trip, we'll travel to Chiapa de Corzo, founded by the Spaniards in 1528. We will learn about its history and visit important buildings, including a 16th-century Mudejar-style fountain and the ex-Convent of Santo Domingo.

You will have an hour of free time for lunch before we head to the Sumidero Canyon viewpoints to see the gorge from a new perspective.

We will conclude our excursion by returning to Tuxtla Gutierrez, arriving 8 hours later.
